Is the end of the world on September 23?

Image
Is the end of the world on September 23? A Christian numerologist claims a verse in the Bible proves that the world will end on September 23. In Luke's passage 21: 25 to 26, there is a quote which apparently matches the date of the Great American Solar Eclipse, when Hurricane Harvey hit and when Texas was flooded. September 23 was pinpointed using codes from the Bible and also a “date marker” shown by the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. But NASA has dismissed the claims, insisting the Planet X theory is merely a hoax. What is David Meade's theory about Planet X and the Great American solar eclipse? Conspiracies about the mysterious planet named Nibiru suggest it could be headed towards Earth to destroy it on September 23. It was first mentioned in 1976 by author Zecharia Sitchin in his book The 12th Planet. He believed the planet is home to ancient aliens called the Annunaki who he claimed created the human race. As the date fast approach...
